Hi, i am currently doing an assigment on concrete strngth after a 7 days of curing, i read some where that concrete will have reached 75% of its 28day strength is this accurate? can anyone provide me with a table showing concrete strenght increasing with time?
 
Rate of strength gain depends on the mix.

I suggest you contact you local concrete suppliers, they should have strength gain data for any number of mixes.
 
with normal strength concrete, moist cured, using various types of cement it ranges from about 50% to 78%. With the addition of fly ash or other admixtures, or different curing conditions these numbers will change.
